The text of the draft was submitted to the formal vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 50173-4 on 2007-04-11. The following dates were fixed: latest date by which the EN
15、 has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2008-05-01 latest date by which the national standards conflicting with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2010-05-01 The European Standards EN 50173:1995 and EN 50173-1:2002 have been de
16、veloped to enable the application-independent cabling to support ICT applications in office premises. Their basic principles, however, are applicable to other types of applications and in other types of premises. TC 215 has decided to establish relevant European Standards which address the specific
17、requirements of these premises. In order to point out the commonalities of these cabling design standards, these EN are published as individual parts of the series EN 50173, thus also acknowledging that standards users recognize the designation “EN 50173” as a synonym for generic cabling design. At
18、the time of publication of this European Standard, series EN 50173 comprises the following standards: EN 50173-1 Information technology Generic cabling systems Part 1: General requirements EN 50173-2 Information technology Generic cabling systems Part 2: Office premises EN 50173-3 Information techno

41、ommunications Technologies (ICT); Broadcast and Communications Technologies (BCT); Commands, Controls and Communications in Buildings (CCCB). Other cabling media, used for the above applications, are not covered in this standard. Generic cabling realised according to this standard: i) allows deploym
42、ent of a wide range of applications without changes to the fixed cabling infrastructure; ii) provides a platform to support moves, adds and changes of connectivity. This European Standard, EN 50173-4, has been prepared to reflect the demands of generic cabling within homes and provides for each grou
43、p of applications (ICT, BCT and CCCB): a) users with an application-independent generic cabling system; b) users with a flexible cabling scheme such that changes are both easy and economical; c) building professionals (for example, architects) with guidance for the design and dimensioning of home ca
44、bling according to the end-user needs or requirements (expressed or assumed); d) industry and applications standardisation bodies (e.g. ITU-T, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 6, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 25/WG1, IEC/TC 100, CLC/TC 205, CLC/TC 209, ETSI) with a cabling system that supports current products and provides a ba
45、sis for future product development in application standardization; e) users, designers, and manufacturers of application-specific cabling systems with advice on interfacing to this generic cabling; f) suppliers of cabling components and installers of cabling with relevant requirements; g) service pr
46、oviders with a distribution system for their services. This European Standard specifies multi-vendor cabling, and is related to: - the associated standard covering general requirements for generic cabling within premises (EN 50173-1); - standards for cabling components developed by Technical Committ
47、ees of CENELEC and/or IEC; - standards for the quality assurance and installation of information technology cabling (series EN 50174) and testing of installed cabling (EN 50346); - applications developed by the technical bodies of IEC (including the subcommittees of ISO/IEC JTC 1), CENELEC and study
48、 groups of ITU-T. A number of ICT, BCT and CCCB applications have been analysed to determine the requirements for a generic cabling (see EN 50173-1:2011, Annex F) and to specify the minimum performance of channels given in Clause 6. These requirements, together with the logical and physical models d
49、escribed in Clauses 4 and 5, have been used to develop the transmission requirements for cabling components and to stipulate their arrangement into generic cabling systems. #$#$This European Standard specifies generic cabling in homes, installed to support one or more of the following groups of applications and based upon balanced, coaxial and optical fibre cabling as appropriate: Backbone cabling connecting individual homes within single premises is built according to the relevant standard (EN 50173-1, EN 50083
